Funeral was yesterday. I may write some more about my father and the funeral at some point, but right at the moment I'm trying to regain my grip on what passes for my normal existence.

Which I have begun by getting drunk courtesy of Simon (not to be confused with Simon, who got me drunk last week). Hurrah.

I will say, though, that the last week and a half has made me proud to be a member of the same family as my siblings. In my profession, and particularly in my field, I see the stresses in so many families being exposed by the death of a parent, it's something of a shock to be reminded I'm part of a very close family. Another thing we owe to our parents I guess.

Anyway, the point is, this journal is open for business once more. Just as soon as I have something to say.
